Hiram: Your father and I think you're distracted.
Leroy: A little too distracted especially with your new boyfriend Mike.
Hiram: When you
were with Finn honey, you were still 100/ focused on school.
Rachel: Every relationship is different, with Finn I was focused on my dreams and with Mike, so what if I'm a little care free.
Leroy: We think it'd be better if you came home for a semester.

Rachel: Aren't you supposed to be with your parents?
Mike: They were, how do I say this, bugging the crap out of me, trying to tell me how to live and who to love.
Rachel: Exactly, they think they could just up root my life and take me away from all of this.
She picks up a picture of Finn then walks around holding it.
Rachel: They said I was better with Finn. I was more focused. And,
She sighed and sat next to him.
Rachel: I was, but I think I was also more closed off. You help me feel more; you help me be someone kinder and nice, someone who cares more about others.
Rachel walks over to where she picked up Finn's picture and got another picture of the New Directions from their sophomore year.
Rachel: Sometimes I take time to just relive that moment. And think about how perfect we all were. Everything was so much easier then.
